Sun. October 18, 2009; Posted: 10:10 PM

Oct 18, 2009 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- VSAT | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- ViaSat Inc. announced on October 13 that it intends to commence an offering of $250 million in aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes due 2016, subject to market and other conditions.

The notes will be offered and sold to qualified institutional buyers in the United States pursuant to Rule 144A and outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

The notes will bear interest at a rate to be determined by negotiations between ViaSat and the initial purchasers, and will be guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by certain of ViaSat's existing and future subsidiaries.

If ViaSat's previously announced acquisition of WildBlue Holding is consummated, the net proceeds from the offering will be used to fund a portion of the purchase price of such acquisition. If the acquisition of WildBlue is not consummated, ViaSat intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, which may include financing costs related to the purchase, launch and operation of its ViaSat-1 satellite, other potential acquisitions, working capital or capital expenditures.

The senior unsecured notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States without registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
